Summit Racing Ford Small Block Engine Build Oil System

Prev Next
Small-block Fords need oil-system traffic control. Because cam bearings don't need the oil volume of main and rod bearings, McAfee goes with the FRPP restrictor kit available from Summit Racing Equipment. He taps passages at main journals No. 2, 3, 4, and 5. This reduces flow to cam bearings and holds more oil down under for the main and rod bearings. Don't install a restrictor at the No. 1 journal or to lifter galleys when using a hydraulic camshaft.
